    Re: High White Spider?

    Hi,

    I think I can answer the question in your first post below for you.

    In this specific case it is because you do not include the qualifying information that lets people fully understand your thinking in the first post but do include all the words, concepts and phrases that throw up major red flags to people who have seen similar sentiments expressed before and watched it turn into a horrible, horrible situation.

    I will underline all the things that should have been in the first post and bold all the words or phrases that really, really shouldn't ( or be phrased differently ) if you want to avoid these reactions;

Where people like me ask a question and it turns into a war after ten posts.

    This mismatch of info and phrases gave the impression you wanted to buy it only because it was cheap with no regard for the animal itself and we have seen people do similar things in the past that didn't turn out so well for the snake.

    The snake involved is really low priced for its size and breeding status which makes most people who have been around a bit longer deeply suspicious until they have asked questions and been reassured everything is on the up and up. The fact you were unaware of the randomness of the white makes me wonder how aware you are of the wobble issue and the possible damage that can be caused by over breeding - all questions you would really want to ask before buying a breeding size spider at the end of a breeding season just as a matter of course. ( well I would being a belt and braces kind of guy ).

    When coupled to your thread about buying wild caught snakes in bulk to re-sell not that long ago sends shivers up a lot of spines as it suggests you really might be looking at this hobby/ industry from the wrong perspective.

    We do not know you and can only judge your intent and character by what you post on the forum - and since that is text based it is not always plain what someone really meant to say compared to the way you read it with no other clues.

    Enthusiasm and dreams can easily come across as inconsistancy and money-hunger without the rest of the clues people get when talking face to face. This then taints everything else written afterwards and can give a totally false impression of someones character.

    When you make a post re-read it to yourself and see if you can imagine anyone asking questions or taking offense then change the post to answer and avoid that happening. It will take you a bit longer to post a thread - but it does mean the thread has more of a chance of going in the direction you intended instead of getting sidetracked and not giving you the information you need.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to type a novel at you but it was a complicated question and I thought it deserved an answer as accurate as I know how to give.
